something like that. it's scheduled to be a 6 hour maintenance iirc.
Well, if you can grab low level materia and combine it to make high level materia, then I'd say combine it yourself and hold onto it until the next time there's a big materia market boom. It probably won't ever be as valuable as it was at the beginning of this patch, but still.
Shame they didn't reduce the price of the Animus Books. If they had reduced it to 1000 Tomes per book, I could've finished the grind before this week's through without TOO much trouble.
At 1.5K, it's going to be early next week, best case. About to start Book 6, three more to go after that.
XD

You can transmute 5 materia for a new one (random i think).
If you're running it tomorrow evening and happen to be on Ultros, gimme a call. I need to run the original Brayflox to finish my current Animus Book.
Granted, in addition to server and time, you also may not actually need a Tank. XD
Hmmm, if so it's still quite useful. Both times I leveled up new classes I walked away with a heaping handul of low level materia that didn't sell for much, and wasn't much use for me, even if I could meld it. So, having the option to toss it in a blender and get something better out of it is, worthwhile, even if it is RNG based.
Still only nibbling at the core problem though. They really have to start letting people meld Materia to non-crafted armor at some point. Heck, even if they only gave a single slot, only to accessories, and overmelding didn't work, it'd still be worthwhile to slap on whatever Materia you could.
Anybody that was ever ten accuracy away from the cap in the latest Coil, knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about here.
Dungeons, leves, FATEs, hunting log, daily roulettes are particularly useful, even the guildhest roulette, exp payouts are crazy.

T7 cleared today! Hopefully, we'll start wiping to T8 tomorrow.
Geez no balancing updates for PvP, just the new ranks? Man I guess the armor will breathe some new life into it but it still is very stale to me. Hell, I don't know what things they could change to make the arena combat less stale, I think Frontlines is really the only thing that has a chance of being kinda fun.
Lodestone doesn't work on my phone, no changes to Atma drop rates? I had a faint bit of hope still left
Nope!

There's a reason why the delayed the next weapon upgrades till May and not release the next upgrade now along side 2.25, most likely making the weapons go up to ilvl105
So you would have LeviMirriored @ilvl100, Novus @ilvl105, Gerolt Goodies @ilvl110 (fully upgraded), and High Allagan @ilvl115
So many people still are slowly going through Atma farming should have made the devs refix all issues, but they would rather let this grind prolong and fix the next parts, so people don't see a hurdle, just a small nuisance
There are no issues, only endless hours of fun!
27 hours, 2 atma, 1 noose at the ready.
New pvp gears look neat, but they are gated behind rank 40 in pvp, so meh.
New materia system could be interesting, but it won't change much since crafting gear still are useless. Overall pretty meh patch, unless they stealth-fixed shit like end-bosses of HM dungeons not giving anything if you are capped. The best addition is the ability to check the book while mounted lol. Then again, I wasn't expecting much.

I didn't even go after any of the atmas, was just running doing my daily beastmen quest in Outer LaNoscea, did 1 FATE, got Atma of Lion or some shit
I was like this was easy
Tried Eastern Thanalan for 2 days, 0 drops, just said "Fuck it, I'll wait"
Well you have the delight of panty raiding while farming for Atmas, others don't
Hey man, dye able Dark-light gear. Vanity gamechanger! XD
Seriously though, seeing as they seem to be moving towards something akin to small monthly content patches, with much larger content patches every three months, yeah, wasn't expecting too much in this patch.
Still, Coil Echo's upto 15%, there's a couple small quality of life updates, and I'm still not giving up on a stealth adjustment of the Atma drop rate.
So overall it's a worthwhile patch. Just wish they could've implemented it a bit faster. Long maintenance bites.
Edit: Also the Materia Transmuting thing will help, it just doesn't address the core issue, and won't until they start allowing at least a limited number of Materia slots on non-crafted armor. Heck, even 1 Materia slot per accessory, with no overmelding, would do the trick. As is, Materia's only useful toward Crafting and for progression groups, during the first few weeks of a new patch. That's too much of a niche to make Materia that much of a factor in the in-game economy.
I also make sure to not burn myself out with more than 2 or 3 hours of continuous Atma farming in a single spot or day, but sure, keep on sniping away.
Biggest disappointment of this patch, Cerbearus Armor.
I was considering starting the slow grind necessary to get some of the better looking armors, so I could vanity them outside PvP. But not only would job specific armor bar me from going after the Leo Armor, but the two headed bear armor just looks absurd.
Sorry Mupod, I know, this is your thing, but I don't even like bears. XD

So they get people to play it?
Alot of players are big on looks... don't ask me why tho.
let's start up a scrub rank 1 team and only do pvp for the next few months
crossing lines with the eorzean fashion police incurs hefty fines

Look at how much time they put into those sets, given them an animal theme, then working out the style and differentiating them for each class
All 9 Classes/Job stand the fuck out
Wish they would do so for end game side too
Coil 3 Turn 1-4 better bring some new style or fuck sakes go back to making gear sets for each class/job not look like a copy paste job

I will be going after that Bear set
Time to drop that WAR Crystal, and MRD through PvP

You stare at your avatar for so long, you want it to look good, unless you like playing 1st person mode
Even with Glamours, there's only a finite amount of choice, some people will create cool sets, that others will copy or create something just so they stand out more
I have the Behemoth Helm Glamoured due to it fitting nicely with Noct Body + the FFXIII Event Axe
You stand out more
Certain people you get to know just due to their glmaours
Some are awesome, some are just train-wrecks, but if the person enjoys looking at that, why fault them

Obviously I understand the motive. That doesnt fix the fact that PVP is not fun/balanced/played. It feels tacked on...
coil2 gear
So guys I'm going to be getting to level 50 today, what should I focus from there? I still have a lot of the main story to finish, but after that what are the new dungeons that unlock, and what gear should I focus on getting. I was at mor dhona yesterday and from what I've seen the meager philosophy tomes I got from beast quest so far aren't enough for anything.
Btw is it just me, or are the three tome "vendors" meant to represent the ffx2 chicks?

That should take care of it mostly.
I can feel where its coming from, looking at my warrior is like looking at a oversized trashcan..

I've been your stage two days ago. Base on my experience, I say finish main scenario, get your gear to ilv 55 and start farming Bray HM.

So I was visiting BG, this person had a nice aggregate of Patch info that has been released to the public
It's interesting how things will be unfolding for the next 2 months

So Atma Upgrade delay really did push back a couple of things for us
Was guessing 2.3 for late May as a helper for people and give them a 3rd option for ilvl105-110 Gear (Maybe AF2 Set, Weekly Lock Out)
So June push-back, most likely will be after E3, so Mid/Late June by then most people should have Turn 9 on farm status or are quitting till next Coil which should be 2.4 in August/September for 1 year Anniversary

2.28 is likely the patch for bringing Coil Echo upto 20, so it's only a two week push back, supposedly for balancing. I don't even a two week delay changing things much.
I thought a fresh char at lower levels wouldn't be indicative of end game content. Might even struggle with weights from Titan ex...
Welp, guess I will be remaining here on Tonberry for the time being. Thanks for the offer though, might take you up on it someday.

Wow. All the cheap materia went so fast xD
System is basically: trade any 5 materia for a random new one.
Edit: the materia you receive seems to be the same tier as you put in (not sure about using different tiers yet). I just bought 5 water materia iv's for 2k each and got a craftman's command iv which goes for 120k.
